The problem here is that Blizzard embraced wokeness as a marketing strategy years ago. When you say "diversity" was a core value of Overwatch's development, you're being political. When you host game development seminars that are only open to women, because women, you're being political. When all of these companies dawn the rainbow flag on their social media accounts, but never once display that flag on their Chinese accounts...well you're just outting yourself as corporate shills at that point. But all of this is to say nobody should buy your lame excuse about "no politics at our events" when consistently injected politics into your marketing because you thought it would make you some extra money. And that blatant hypocrisy is a big reason this is such a scandal for Blizzard.

Blizzard's public facade is absolute bullshit. They shove SJW propaganda in everyone's face but then when an actual real issue is presented to them, they shill out for money. "The world can always use more heroes" yet they ban the hero, take his prize money, and side with a totalitarian state.

If the hermits in congress worldwide did not use the issue of lgbt rights towards their political capital it wouldn't be political but a social issue. Both parties should let it go by let individuals do what they want to do, offer talks/sponsers blah blah. But let them choose at the end (same for abortion), as long as their is no laws/high powers to push them against their beliefs. (Also note, Pro-life conservative/rep here- I don't agree with abortions in late trimesters, otherwise tbh not my choice).

Well, I mean not only Blizzard but all big corporations care only about money and not about you...Like if you really think they do, I must disappoint you ...they don't. There are saying things only to appeal to you (for example supporting LGBT etc.), so it really didn't surprise me what they did, BUT was it right? NOT at all...Blitzchung knew what he was doing and what were the consequences. Could Blizzard handled it better? Absolutely, they could in the form of warning or not firing the commentators and there were many more options, well that didn't happen. To be fair, like I said, Blizzard is a corporation and like any other, you have rules and company policies to obey and when you don't you get fired, so in that sense, they are in right...but of course morally they are completely wrong...

People need to understand this doesn't have anything to do with the China/HK situation, its an unfortunate context, but not one that matters in the case, the amount of conflicting information that has been spread in this debate is ridiculous, blizzard were in their right to do what they did, the player knew what he was doing would have actions, as for people calling blizzard out on twitter for pleasing china, conflicting translations of that tweet has been popping up recently, some of them skew towards A being right, some of them skew towards B being right, at the end of the day, if you care so much about doing the right thing for HK, which any sane person would claim was in the right of this conflict, then creating drama around blizzard is the least effective thing you could do, the entire thing is a joke, not to mention that online communities, especially gaming ones, are quick to draw a conclusion on things based on immediate feeling, and not fact, and they tend to forget all the good things that has happened, like the countless of charity work blizzard has done. All in all it's just another drama created around people confusing feelings, context and facts, it will pass in a short time.
